The Secret Place
Pastor W.F Kumuyi
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalms 91:1).
My precious children, today's devotion will bring you special blessings because you are special to God if you are privileged to dwell in His secret place, the place of security. Charles. H. Spurgeon wrote, "No shelter can be imagined at all comparable to the protection of Jehovah's own shadow. The Almighty himself is where his shadow is, and hence those who dwell in his secret place are shielded by himself the more closely we cling to our Almighty Father the more confident may we be." What qualifies you to dwell in the secret place of the Most High is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, walking closely with Him by studying His word, meditating on it, obeying it, praying and worshipping regularly in God's house. Those in the secret place hear the voice of God, for He speaks to them. They enjoy divine strength and encouragement under the burdens or life and they faint not. Under Jehovah Shalom's wings is peace, for no fury of foes can reach them there. Dwell in the secret place and enjoy divine provision.
Challenge: In the secret place is life more abundant
Prayer: May I never wander away from you oh God, In Jesus' name.
Quote: Under Jehovah Shalom's wings is peace
